I'm both orderly and rational. I value control, information, and order. I love structure and hierarchy, and will actively use whatever power or knowledge I have to maintain it. At best, I am lawful and insightful; at worst, I am bureaucratic and tyrannical.

By build around I meant play a more defensive deck, not play mill. With Jace you want a deck that can stall the game out and give you a higher chance of drawing it, you also want a deck that can protect it for at least a turn.

Tolkein was a jerk. Seriously, what DM sends 9 Wraith Lords at a Lvl 2 party of Halflings.
The only 'correct' way to play D&D is by whatever method is making the group you have at that session, have the most fun.

You should never explain layers to people unless one of the following is true: they're studying for a judge exam, you're both in a Ben Affleck movie and it's the only way to save the world, or you hate them.

I kind of like the ring, but that's purely because it's harder to get the ring than the Primal Huntbeast and those two things spell WIN.

But I think with Jace, we may as well just lean hard on blue and ride it till the end, since this is the exception to Mind Sculpt. Jace is the reason to high pick sculpts and Entrancers, and there is no doubt we're playing blue, so...

Encrust

Ring of Kalonia commits to , it's not flexible like Evos or Xathrid. Duty-Bound Dead is a solid draft pick for defensive decks, which is good for Jace. Encrust may be weaker than the others, but is in color. Elvish Visionary is nice, essentially a token and card acceleration, plus the Primadox plan is fun. Sign in Blood is nice acceleration but requires commitment.
